Last year towards the end, the ECMs had less appeals to look at hence the response time was about 10 weeks after the deadline was given, in other words about 2 months before the deadline end. But as you know, this is a hugely busy time for them, so I wouldn't expect a quick response at all. If anything you're more lucky, yours has gone to ISB, less applications dealt with there than in Abu Dhabi.

u think so? I thought islamabad would have more number of appeals.
i actually have my ECO's email add i feel like sending her an emotional email to speed up the process lol jk

why did your case get rejected if u dont mind me asking?

Because My Husband provided copies of his Masters Degree and Not the Original and also they said that our Nikah Nama was not valid.

You have failed to provide satisfactory documentary evidence that you and your sponsor have contracted a valid marriage.

We provided a valid Nikah Namah and attested copy. There was an oversight on the section "date of marriage" as it was left blank by the person who filled it in. Even though the Nikah Namah was stamped and Signed by a Union Official the day our Nikah took place they didn't accept it.

We then had to go back to the Union Officail get a letter and also provided Union Council Certificate which they were satisfied with.

Dear All,

Is there anyone who has recently applied for a spouse visa like in May or June? I need to get some guidelines. Please PM me.

What kind of guidelines do you need. My friend applied yesterday in Lahore
so I suppose it's a waiting game from now on. I am keeping an eye on this board for her and leaning from you all folks.

Hi Folks, I have made a start to the petition if there is enough interest I will
start a new thread. Please feel fee to expand/add

------------------------------------------------------------

We, the undersigned, urge the Home Secretary Theresa May to provide fair and speed service for settlement Visas There is unreasonable delay in processing these application further placing stress on family life.

Nice initiative. I think we shud start new thread so dat only interested ones will be able to expand. Otherwise precious times of other members will be wasted plus the existing thread will be burdened

What does everybody say?

Syma. Why don't you send an email. The worse that can happen is they don't overturn their decision. Then you wil get a court date you can fight it there. I'm not sure if it would make it quicker

So worrying this news.. so many genuine familys will be affected..

Whilst I agree spouses shouldn't rely on public funds, and sham marriages need to be tackled, the minimum income level being imposed is extremly high....

The other worrying part is 'showing genuine attachment to the uk'... god knows what this could be..

Cant exactly remember where i read this but although she will announce the changes they wont come into forc3e till 2013.

So IF our spouses are granted visas and the new regulation comes out then does that mean we will fall into the new catergory of 5 years before applying for ILR?

Dont worry guys. I exactly remember when UKBA changed student laws TIER 4, The previous one who were already in UK got no effect

hi, sorry if this sounds a little naive, but the new laws wont affect the people who have already applied would they??

skstar · Post by **skstar** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:34 am

guys calm down, she can't just say i'm implementing this law. It has been shifting around parliament for over a year and nonone has approved it. So even if she does introduce the changes, that is to inform the public but the process will take time for it to come into effect.
Also this proposal will recieve a lot of back lash , at the end of the day UK is a democracy and it will affect a majority and their rights.

nothing has come in to affect yet so we will not know until this rule is accepted or not. if it is, it will not be able to affect previous applications as they will be judged by the ruling at the time. i will try to clarify from someone in regards to any failed applications and if the appeals process will require the new criteria but again i highly doubt this as an appeal is your right.
